Four Democrats involved in an upstate New York voter fraud scandal were sentenced yesterday for their respective roles, receiving punishments ranging from hundreds of hours of community service, to jail time. The group consisted of a former city clerk, an ex-City Councilman, a Democrat operative, and a Committeeman who a year ago had declared ballot forgery in upstate New York to be "a normal political tactic".

It was merely days ago that officials in the New York State Assembly celebrated the enactment of a two-year moratorium on fracking, and environmental extremists expressed glee at the prospect of a health study holding off the process for gas drilling by several years. This, on top of already being five-years immersed in the review process.That glee may be short-lived, however.

He frequently discusses such topics as the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, amidst the backdrop of a 'Don't Tread on Me' flag, and a constant refrain of 'We the People'.But he's not a Tea Party member.He is a white man who detests others "with faces not like mine", those that have crossed our borders but cannot speak the same language, and wonders how we can get rid of these people.But he's not racist.At least that's what the creative minds at World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) want you to believe.

Love and marriage. America and apple pie. Chicken wings and Super Bowl Sunday.Has there ever been a more perfect combination of sports and snacks than the chicken wing/football combination we will experience this weekend?I say, nay.The Obama administration however, has somehow managed to dampen the excitement of this year's Super Bowl, by causing small businesses to panic over chicken wing supply while simultaneously raising market prices to record highs.

Earlier this month, we covered a suspect symposium being sponsored by a pro-Obamacare organization, designed to provide journalists with "specialized education in health care reporting”. The anticipation of media bias was palpable. Previous revelations of this relationship prompted one reporter to write, "this sounds like a program to teach reporters to write supportive stories about the health care reform law.”

It's the messaging, stupid.Much has been made since the past election cycle regarding the GOP's inability to reach out to voters. While doing so, many are focusing on the voter themselves, or as Rush Limbaugh refers to them - the low-information voter.

Washington's sweeping regulations for the food retail industry seem too tough to swallow for some business leaders, as retailers and consumers alike can expect higher costs for a government program that will contribute little to its stated goal - improving food safety.A recent gathering known as the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) Midwinter Conference saw major executives in the supermarket business challenge the administration to recognize that burdensome regulations do not necessarily equate to progress for industry safety.

Back in 2010, an agreement between a pro-Obamacare foundation and a society of business journalists had been questioned as a ‘cozy propaganda arrangement’. This arrangement has recently continued through sponsorship funding and training efforts that will provide journalists with "specialized education in health care reporting".

In the process of regulating everything under the sun, (literally) the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently made a bold grab at regulating everything from the clouds as well. More specifically, they had to defend themselves in a court case in Virginia for the right to regulate the rainfall.The very fact that they would attempt something so bizarre is a clear indication that despite the departure of their red tape-wielding leader Lisa Jackson, the EPA has no intentions of easing off the regulatory gas pedal.

Hollywood's mega-liberal darling, Matt Damon, is back at it again in his latest film Promised Land, delivering a theatrical effort that is so far-left, providing little more than junk science platitudes and a radical environmental agenda, that even his anti-fracking cohorts aren't singing its praises. In other words, Promised Land delivers about what one could expect from today's Hollywood elite.
